A basic distinction is made between static and dynamic QR codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Static QR codes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With a static QR code, the data is stored directly in the code and cannot be changed later. This type of QR code is suitable for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Business cards<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wi-Fi access data<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact details (vCard)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Text messages or simple URLs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Dynamic QR Codes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dynamic QR Codes<\/strong>&nbsp;link to a URL via which the stored information can be subsequently modified. This makes them particularly flexible. They are often used for the following purposes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marketing campaigns (changing content without a new code)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Event registrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital menus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tracking and analyzing scanning behavior<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Special QR Code Types<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the application, there are other specialized QR codes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>URL QR Code:<\/strong>\u00a0Links directly to a website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wi-Fi QR Code:<\/strong>\u00a0Allows automatic connection to a Wi-Fi network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>vCard QR Code:<\/strong>\u00a0Contains contact information for quick storage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bitcoin QR Code:<\/strong>\u00a0Facilitates crypto transactions by displaying a wallet address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PDF QR Code:<\/strong>\u00a0Links to a PDF document, e.g. B. an instruction manual.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Social Media QR Code:<\/strong>\u00a0Leads directly to a social media profile or company page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This variety allows QR codes to be optimally adapted to different use cases.
